Lewis could move and one of his favorite things was to keep you on the edge of that jab of his. Ali would have had to work to get inside and Lennox would have sprung that right on him when he did. Ali would have been burning the candle at both ends to react to Lennox's quick 1-2 and working to get around his jab. Lewis never gave up his most natural advantage- his height. He would have kept that guard around his body and made Ali work to get to his head. That would have been a tall order.
Klitschko Ali would have had an easier time with. He hits harder, but he's not quite as fast or well polished. Ali's speed would have blanked him- he wouldn't have seen the jab coming and his chin is allergic to leather. I say Ali KOs him and in a hurry because he wouldn't have wanted to risk getting caught clean with that right hand.
